Types of Emails

Transactional Email

These are emails that typical have an exchange of vital information the customer needs such as…

  • Shipping notifications with tracking info
  • Login credentials 
  • Invoices or receipts 
  • Cancelation requests 

These are typically sent from the customer service team.

While vital, these emails are often overlooked — a great transactional email can seriously boost customer relationships .

Promotional Emails

These emails typical include some type of marketing/promotional material, with the goal of…

  • Driving immediate sales
  • Driving qualified leads to your sales team
  • These emails are copywriting-heavy and often written in the voice of your brand or figurehead.

 

Having a set schedule to send promotional emails is important, but they shouldn’t be sent everyday, or it will exhaust your email list and make your brand feel scammy.

Content email

These emails typical include some type of valuable content, with the goal of…

  • Providing value in advanced 
  • Nurturing your relationship with your customers
  • Newsletters, free resources, and product highlights are all great types of content to use. 

 

You can use metrics like click through rate and email opens to determine if your customers are gaining value from your content.

Give a Next Step: show them some content or tell them what to do next. You want to get them to start taking actions.

Best Email Practices

1. Never run into two Monetisation Campaigns at the same time.

This exhausts your lists and turns your brand into a seam account. Leave space between your monetisation campaigns to avoid people unsubscribing or loosing interest in your business.

2. The best days to host webinars are on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.

This is because most people reserve the bandwidth for the middle of the week. Monday is usually reserved for getting the week setup and Friday is for winding down the week.

3. The best time to close a sale is on a Wednesday or Thursday.

This is also coordinated with sales teams are the busiest during the week. 

4. Schedule the emails in your campaign to go out Monday-Thursday at 9am.

This is when general email engagement is the highest. It’s the beginning of the work day for most people and when they are most active on their email accounts. But don’t forget to allocate for different time zones.

5. Split your email list into two segments: Engaged and Unengaged (no purchase in the past 30 days).

Take the best performing emails from your engaged list and send them to your unengaged list. This gives your less interested audience your top content and increases the chances that they become engaged.

6. Make sure your email marketing campaigns are aligned with your company’s promo calendar.

This ensures that your brand is consistent across channels, keeping your products and services top-of-mind for your customer.

Email Metrics You Should Be Tracking
